Graduate Research Opportunity

Academic-year stipend support and partial tuition remission are available through the SDSM&T Museum of Geology for graduate students interested in pursuing conservation paleobiology research using invertebrates and/or microfauna focusing on Miocene – Recent coastal and marine ecosystems.

Opportunities to extend funding beyond the first academic year for up to 2.5 additional years may be provided based on student performance. In addition to research mentorship, the student will receive training in natural-history collections and archives digitization, and online and public floor museum exhibit development.

The Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at SDSM&T offers MS degree programs in Geology and Geological Engineering and in Paleontology, and a PhD in Geology and Geological Engineering.

Interested candidates may contact Drs. Laurie Anderson (Laurie.Anderson@sdsmt.edu) or Christina Belanger (Christina.Belanger@sdsmt.edu) for additional information
